President Donald Trump called for a “major investigation” into voter fraud Wednesday, promising to look into people who are registered to vote in two states. Being registered to vote in two states is not illegal nor that uncommon. In fact, five people closely associated with Trump are registered in two states.

“You have people that are registered who are dead, who are illegals, who are in two states. You have people registered in two states. They’re registered in a New York and a New Jersey. They vote twice,” Trump said, adding that none of the illegal votes were cast for him.

Nearly 7 million Americans in 28 states are registered to vote in two or more states (not including California, Texas or Florida), according to a 2014 Watchdog.org report.

"People on multiple registration lists is real. When you are moving from one state to another the first thing on your mind isn't canceling your old voter registration,” said Daniel A.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer are registered in two states.
